I haven't found 2-part black epoxy (though I wouldn't look forward to
dealing with it anyway). Anyone have experience with this?


Flaking off is bad prep. Leave any oil from your hands on the handle
areas and bond just wont be 100%. If paint there now is bad or soft
from years of touching the only stripping guarntees a great bond, but
is it worth stripping. Go to a real paint store that sells only paint
and do what they recomend
